Building Collaborative Experiences with Theia
summary
An open source collaboration stack is already running: a collaboration server that provides a pseudo peer‑to‑peer relay with the session host as single source of truth, a VS Code extension published to both Marketplace and Open VSX, and a deeper Theia collaboration package shipped in monthly Theia builds that supports browser‑only join and extensible messages. Roadmap adds a Monaco editor integration and an Open Collaboration Service Process for non‑JS IDEs; basic text workspace sharing and broadcasts already work.
